1. The remainder of Umm Maml's affection was severed
By an outcome, and intention was substituted in exchange

2. She swore by Allah she would not sever her strength
Yet she was not true to it, nor did she fulfill her oath

3. My she-camels have Bellies like carnelian agates is their summer pasture
And they wander about in the open country and climb up the hillsides

4. If Umm Maml pursues the infidels
She has endowed my heart with passion in her absence

5. And the Expert will make her understand that we
Refused and sought only our Lord as an oath

6. And that we are with the Guiding Prophet Muhammad
And we fulfilled while a thousand men did not fulfill

7. With sincere youths from Sulaym, most honorable
They obeyed so they do not disobey any of His commands

8. My she-camels Khufaf, Dhakwan, and Awaf whom
Difficulties missed in their sure-footedness out of weakness

9. As if the interwoven white and black garment is clothed
With pitch blackness converging in its hidden places out of darkness

10. Through us the religion of Allah gained strength without decay
And we surpassed the living one who had weakness with him

11. In Mecca when we came as if our banner
Were a hawk that wanted to snatch after its soaring

12. Dazzling the eyes that gaze at it, they would think between them
When it soared during its circling a musical mode

13. On the morning we trod the polytheists and did not find
For the matter of Allah’s Messenger justice or even change

14. In a melee where the people in its midst do not hear
Except our battle cry and groaning

15. With white blades that make cares fly from their abode
And we pluck the necks of the violent attackers with them, plucking

16. However many a blood-smeared corpse we left
And a widow calling down evil on her husband in anguish

17. We intend the pleasure of Allah, not the pleasure of people we seek
And to Allah appears all that is evident and all that is hidden
